After the system ran, I took off with my family

Arriving at the entrance of the martial arts arena, Lin Shuyue saw at a glance that in front of the wooden stakes on the east side of the martial arts arena, Li, who was wearing a green outfit, was practicing whip techniques with a red cloud whip. The red cloud whip passed through the air, making a swish. In the open space in the middle of the martial arts arena, Lin An was also wielding a Tang sword, looking very powerful.

After waiting quietly for a cup of tea, Lin An and his wife finally stopped.

"Ayue, you're back?"

Li put away the whip, turned around and saw her daughter. A gentle smile instantly filled her eyes, which was completely different from the heroic look she had just shown when she was practicing martial arts.

Lin An, who was standing by, was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. When he heard his wife's voice, he turned around and looked.

"Dad, Mom, your skills are getting better and better. You're almost better than my second brother." Lin Shuyue walked forward, took the handkerchief from Luo's mother and handed it to Li, not forgetting to praise the two of them.

Lin An grinned when he heard this, "That's right, although your mother and I are not as good as you and your elder brother, we are at least better than your second brother who is a scholar."

"How dare you say that when you can't compare to the child." Li rolled her eyes at Lin An, "You stink, go back and wash up quickly. You have to go to Ershun's house to help in the afternoon. Today is his big day, don't miss it."

Ershun was actually the fool who had fled here from Yunhua Village with their family and Grandma Xiuyin's family.

After he settled down in Lanshan Village with the Lin family, he started working as a peddler. Later, he changed his name to Ershun. According to him, the most difficult days of fleeing famine are over, and he hopes that things will go smoothly in the future.

Seven days ago, Er Shun suddenly came to the Lin family. Seeing that he looked very happy but a little shy, Lin An curiously asked him if he had any good news.

Er Shun nodded with a red face, and then told the purpose of his trip.

It turned out that after he became a peddler, he wandered around the surrounding villages every day.

One day, he was carrying a load on his back and coming out of Gaojia Village. When passing by a pond, he met a girl who had sprained her ankle. Seeing that there was no one around and the girl was sweating profusely from the pain, he carried the girl on his back and sent her home. Fortunately, the girl's home was at the edge of the village and no one saw them.

On the way home, the girl told him that her name was Manxiu.

Later, whenever he went to Gaojia Village, he would meet Manxiu eight out of ten times. Ershun felt more and more that he and Manxiu were destined to be together. One day, he boldly told Manxiu that he wanted to marry her, but Manxiu blushed and ran away quickly.

When Ershun saw Manxiu fleeing in a hurry, he thought she was unwilling to marry him. He felt very upset and left Gaojia Village carrying the goods.

In the days that followed, he deliberately avoided Gaojia Village every time he sold goods to avoid meeting the girl again and causing embarrassment for both of them.

Ten days ago, he passed by Gaojia Village again. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, he caught a glimpse of a girl lying on the side of the road in Gaojia Village. Ershun recognized at a glance that the girl was the one he liked, Manxiu. He could not care about anything else and hurried forward to check.

Manxiu was wearing a thin, worn jacket at this time, with her eyes closed tightly and her face as pale as paper. He quickly took out the water bag from his arms and fed her the ginger and sugar water he had prepared when he went out in the morning.

Fortunately, he had kept the water bag in his arms, and he had just been out for a short time, so the ginger and sugar water was still warm.

After drinking the ginger and sugar water, Manxiu woke up quickly. When she saw Ershun, she immediately threw herself into Ershun's arms and burst into tears, cursing Ershun for being an ungrateful man.

Ershun had never had such an intimate behavior with a woman. When she hugged him, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

After Manxiu calmed down, she told Ershun why she fainted on the side of the road.

According to Manxiu, she ran away only because she was shy and reserved as a girl. She had planned to wait until Ershun came to Gaojia Village next time before agreeing to him, but Ershun did not come to Gaojia Village for a long time.

Later, a matchmaker suddenly came to propose marriage to Manxiu, saying that a family in the neighboring village had taken a fancy to Manxiu and was willing to pay a betrothal gift of twenty taels to marry her.

Manxiu's parents only had one son and one daughter, but Manxiu's father was a cripple and her mother was in poor health, so the family had always lived a tight life.

Therefore, when her parents heard that there was twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, they were immediately tempted. With the twenty taels of silver, the family could build another house for Yuanbao to live in after he got married, and the extra silver could be saved for Yuanbao as a betrothal gift for marrying a wife.

Then, the couple heard from the matchmaker that the family proposing marriage would not only give them twenty taels of betrothal gift, but would also buy them a cow, but the prerequisite was that Manxiu had to marry them within three days.

Although Manxiu's parents were a little puzzled, they had been overwhelmed by the generous betrothal gift and the promise of a cow, and they did not bother to ask why there was such a request, and agreed immediately.

Manxiu found out about this the next day when she ran into the matchmaker and the boy's parents coming to deliver the betrothal gifts. She was shocked to learn that she would marry a stranger in two days. After she came to her senses, she knelt on the ground and begged her parents not to agree to this marriage.

But how could the couple, blinded by the betrothal gift, just watch the money fly away? Without saying a word, Manxiu's father and his 13-year-old brother tied her up and locked her in the woodshed. Then they continued to discuss the marriage with the man as if nothing had happened.

Originally, when the man saw that Manxiu was unwilling, he was worried that he would bring trouble home, so he said that if Manxiu was unwilling, the marriage would be cancelled.

When Manxiu's parents heard this, they became anxious and quickly explained that it happened too suddenly, so Manxiu resisted. They begged the boy's parents to give them more time and they would persuade Manxiu. The boy's parents didn't say anything, but just said that it should be done as soon as possible, and then they took the prepared betrothal gift and left.

After the man and the matchmaker left, the couple pointed at Manxiu and scolded her angrily. Seeing that their daughter was reluctant to give in, the two tried to persuade her with soft words, but no matter how they persuaded, threatened or bribed her, Manxiu refused to agree. In a fit of rage, the couple drove Manxiu out of the house and said that they would let her in only if she changed her mind.

In this way, Manxiu was driven out of the house wearing only a thin coat. Other people in the village knew how difficult her mother, Liu Pozi, was and did not dare to help her, so she fainted from hunger on the roadside.

After Manxiu finished her story weakly, Ershun became furious and immediately carried Manxiu on his back to the village.

When they arrived at Manxiu's house, Ershun said directly that he wanted to marry Manxiu.

When Manxiu's parents saw their daughter leaning shyly in the arms of a strange man, they immediately understood why they did not agree to this marriage. They were so angry that they pointed at Manxiu's nose and scolded her for being shameless.

After a long quarrel, Manxiu's parents saw that their daughter was determined to marry Ershun. They looked at each other and thought that since she didn't want to marry the family in the next village, it didn't matter who she married, as long as the man could afford the same betrothal gift.
